'Own' in the Bible

who, existing in the form of God,did not consider equality with Godas something to be used for His own advantage.

So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law, but one that is through faith in Christ—the righteousness from God based on faith.

This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you.

Although we could have been a burden as Christ’s apostles, instead we were gentle among you, as a nursing mother nurtures her own children.

We cared so much for you that we were pleased to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.

As you know, like a father with his own children,

we encouraged, comforted, and implored each one of you to walk worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

For you, brothers, became imitators of God’s churches in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, since you have also suffered the same things from people of your own country, just as they did from the Jews

so that each of you knows how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,

to seek to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

Now we command and exhort such people by the Lord Jesus Christ that quietly working, they may eat their own food.

This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. This is a sign in every letter; this is how I write.

one who manages his own household competently, having his children under control with all dignity.

(If anyone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of God’s church?)

Deacons must be husbands of one wife, managing their children and their own households competently.

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must learn to practice godliness toward their own family first and to repay their parents, for this pleases God.

But if anyone does not provide for his own, that is his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

All who are under the yoke as slaves must regard their own masters to be worthy of all respect, so that God’s name and His teaching will not be blasphemed.

God will bring this about in His own time. He isthe blessed and only Sovereign,the King of kings,and the Lord of lords,

He has saved us and called uswith a holy calling,not according to our works,but according to His own purpose and grace,which was given to us in Christ Jesusbefore time began.

For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new.

In His own time He has revealed His message in the proclamation that I was entrusted with by the command of God our Savior:

One of their very own prophets said,Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.

But I didn’t want to do anything without your consent, so that your good deed might not be out of obligation, but of your own free will.

I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it—not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self.

For the person who has entered His rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from His.

and who have fallen away, because, to their own harm, they are recrucifying the Son of God and holding Him up to contempt.

He doesn’t need to offer sacrifices every day, as high priests do—first for their own sins, then for those of the people. He did this once for all when He offered Himself.

He entered the most holy place once for all, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.

Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, so that He might sanctify the people by His own blood.

But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires.

By His own choice, He gave us a new birth by the message of truth so that we would be the firstfruits of His creatures.

Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror.

In the same way, wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, even if some disobey the Christian message, they may be won over without a message by the way their wives live

For in the past, the holy women who put their hope in God also beautified themselves in this way, submitting to their own husbands,

His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.

First of all, you should know this: No prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation,

It has happened to them according to the true proverb: A dog returns to its own vomit, and, “a sow, after washing itself, wallows in the mud.”

First, be aware of this: Scoffers will come in the last days to scoff, living according to their own desires,

He speaks about these things in all his letters in which there are some matters that are hard to understand. The untaught and unstable twist them to their own destruction, as they also do with the rest of the Scriptures.

Therefore, dear friends, since you know this in advance, be on your guard, so that you are not led away by the error of lawless people and fall from your own stability.

and He has kept, with eternal chains in darkness for the judgment of the great day, the angels who did not keep their own position but deserted their proper dwelling.

These people are discontented grumblers, walking according to their desires; their mouths utter arrogant words, flattering people for their own advantage.

they told you, “In the end time there will be scoffers walking according to their own ungodly desires.”
